Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a combination of a receiver unit and a mobile device and/or battery, the device and/or battery capable of being inductively powered and/or charged by the receiver unit, the unit being a component of or electrically connected to the mobile device or battery. The receiver unit comprises a receiver coil and a communication and control system. The receiver coil generally has a planar surface, and the receiver unit is capable of receiving energy from a base unit via an inductive magnetic field and using the energy to power and/or charge the mobile device or batter. The communication and control system in the receiver unit regulates an appropriate power, voltage and/or current value of an output of the receiver unit to charge or power the mobile device or battery.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A combination comprised of a receiver unit and a mobile device and/or battery, the device and/or battery capable of being inductively powered and/or charged by the receiver unit, the unit being a component of or electrically connected to the mobile device or battery, the receiver unit comprising: a receiver coil generally having a planar surface and wherein the receiver unit is capable of receiving energy from a base unit via an inductive magnetic field and using the energy to power and/or charge the mobile device or battery; and a communication and control system in the receiver unit that, via wireless communication with a microcontroller in a separate primary charger or power supply that provides basic control and switching functions, regulates an appropriate power, voltage and/or current value of an output of the receiver unit to charge or power the mobile device or battery with high efficiency regardless of load condition. 2. The combination of claim 1 , comprising the mobile device. 3. The combination of claim 1 , comprising the battery. 4. The combination of claim 1 , comprising the mobile device and battery. 5. The combination of claim 2 , wherein the mobile device is a multi-function device.
